The Mart dedicates a major exhibition to Mario Reviglione, painter and engraver of the early 20th century

From July 16 to November 5, 2023, the Mart in Rovereto is dedicating a major exhibition to Mario Reviglione, a painter, engraver, and draftsman active in the early 20th century. Mario Reviglione. L’amorosa inquietudine, curated by Beatrice Avanzi and Adriano Olivieri, from an idea by Vittorio Sgarbi, the exhibition aims to restore the rightful centrality to one of the most interesting and least known artists of the last century. Through sixty works, including paintings, drawings, engravings and documents, it aims to reconstruct Reviglione’s artistic journey in its entirety for the first time.

Of a shy temperament, the artist took his first steps in early 20th-century Turin; he quickly distanced himself from academic languages, which he considered outdated, and came into contact with modernist circles revolving around the figure of Leonardo Bistolfi. Close to Symbolism, whose suspended and fantastic atmospheres he picked up, Reviglione defined his own original artistic language, distant from fashions and supported by numerous critics. He won recognition and prizes, participated in three Venice Biennials (in 1907, 1912 and 1926) and the International Art Exhibition of the Rome Secession (1913).

After World War I, his countercultural outlook and reserved character led him to retire to private life and lead a gradually more secluded existence.
